💧WATER CONSERVATION TIPS💧
To ensure our city's water supply remains available for essential uses such as drinking water, sanitation, and fire protection, here are 8 tips to conserve water:

1. Fix leaks immediately.
2. Don't leave the tap running.
3. Check your toilet for any leaks.
4. Choose efficient appliances (i.e., look for Energy Star + EPA WaterSense products).
5. Install high efficiency fixtures (i.e., replace inefficient toilets + shower heads).
6. Washing in the home (i.e., run dishwasher + washing machine only when full).
7. Scrape dishes before washing them.
8. Only water plants when necessary.

Thank you for doing your part to help conserve our city's water resources. Even small actions can make a meaningful difference.
